so i took some help full advice
so ive been thinking about it and i decided to look into my motor to see whats legit and stopped wasting time so i looked into the head and yes indead its itr head so 1 plus to my current project next i decided turbo was not for me and so now im just going to stay all motor and so now my offical parts list is oem pistons and rods got it confirmed by the shop that did the machine work and it had just been honed and had a full fresh up about 6 months ago the guys at the tuning shop that tuned the car i started talking to them and found out the actual whp and its not to bad 182. the biggest down fall is the b18b ls tranny but other than stock ported itr intake manifold, ground control coilovers there not to bad but alittle bouncy at times, stock itr head completely so im just gonna get a mild port and polish done to match the manifold and also gonna get some adjustable cam gears prolly skunk2, and gonna ditch the 2.25 megan racing catback and go to a local custom exhaust fab shop and get a 2.75 with high flow cat and not to sure what muffler, and it already had a password jdm carbon fiber whale *****, and then get me some slicks for the weekend track visits and i already got me a set of 15 by 7 in gold stance mindsets with some pretty nice tires dont remember the brand though but im thinking with a retune and port and polish and new gaskets and some rod bolts my ls v should be pretty reliable as long as i stay with 7400 rpm rev limit right?

Re: so i took some help full advice
yeah hahahaha at the end haha i just read that and was like wow thats a brain full of stuff. I guess what im asking from other experience is this gonna be reliable or should i just baby this motor until i can get a gsr swap, and then swap out heads and sell the ls v swap with the gsr head and try and make some of my money back?
